3rd Biggest Tree on Earth - Kings Canyon National Park - Part I

  • I'm in Kings Canyon National Park! Kings Canyon is in the southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California and is just north of Sequoia National Park.
    I check out the Indian grinding stones in Azalea Campground. Then I head over to the 3rd largest tree on earth. The Grant Grove is a grove of giant Sequoia trees that was once it's own national park known as General Grant National Park until 1940 when it was included in Kings Canyon National Park.
    Please make sure to watch part 2!

    I'm currently camped at Azalea Campground in Kings Canyon National Park. This is a really nice campground that is first-come-first-serve in the off season. It is reservation only from the end of May to the beginning of September. The majority of the campground was blocked off during the off season so there were only about 25-30 spots available.

    Thanks for posting this video Bex. The Redwoods seem bigger than I remember. But I was only 5yrs old at the time. (1960) I do recall the bears at Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Yosemite. This was before there were bear boxes and most people were tent camping. As long as the food wasn't in the tent we were good to go. Liked the Stellars Jay also.

    • @BexCatherder
      @BexCatherder  3 года назад

      These are Giant Sequoia. Different from Redwood trees. Redwoods grow tall, Sequoia will continue to grow outward and the tops will fall off. Sequoia do not die of old age. They just topple over.

    Funny. We were here about the same time in May. We reserved a spot further up the road in Sequoia for a couple nights, but didn’t luck out in Azalea to extend our stay. This is the first Park I remember camping at in 1960 bears and all. No bear boxes or resistant trash cans then. They came rummaging during the night…

    Hello there. I just came across your channel today, and was so excited to see a couple of your videos. It was so pleasing to watch that I subscribed to your channel. You're so natural so down to earth and I enjoy watching you as you show us the things you have explored. I grew up in the White mountains of Arizona along the mogollon rim in a little town called lakeside. As a kid I would go hiking up in the woods above the house through the ponderosa pines with relatives and Friends. Watching you really brought back some memories of my childhood. I now live in the state of Wisconsin. Keep up the good work I enjoy watching you very much. 😊👍

    I have a book to suggest….”The Wild Trees” by Richard Preston….you will learn more about the coast redwoods than you ever thought possible. The author became what I would described as being obsessed with climbing redwood trees and his story and experiences are fascinating! Really good read. Oh I forgot ….this was a wonderful episode. Thankyou.

    • @BexCatherder
      @BexCatherder  3 года назад

      Sounds like a wonderful book. These trees are Giant Sequoia. Different from Redwood trees. Redwood trees grow taller but Sequoia continue to grow outward and are much bigger in terms of the amount of wood inside.

We lost a Utuber I watched and I’m not sure if you knew him. Brother Tom of Brother Toms misguided adventures. He passed in hospital after three cardiac arrests.

    You mentioned the trees were older than Jesus. Thought you would enjoy this poem by a Poet named William Stafford.
    A poem by William Stafford
    B.C.
    The seed that met water spoke a little name.
    (Great Sunflowers were lording the air that day,
    This was before Jesus, before Rome, that other air
    Was readying our hundreds of years to say things
    That rain has beat down on over broken stones
    And heaped behind us in many slag heaps.)
    Quiet in the earth a drop of water came,
    And the little seed spoke: “Sequoia is my name. “
